Definition: The word "Ammonite" in the Bible refers to a giant sea monster found in ancient times by the Israelites, causing them great distress. It's believed that this monstrous creature was brought from the Mediterranean Sea. The exact details of its appearance and characteristics vary widely throughout the Old Testament, but it is generally described as being large, gray-brown in color, with sharp teeth and a long, pointed snout. Ammonite imagery often appears in prophetic visions, including during the time of David's reign when he was seeking to rebuild Israel. The term "ammonite" thus represents a mysterious figure from God who brought distress upon Israel through this monstrous sea monster.
